I have to set up everything on the dining room table too. It stinks!

Ditto. We've been remodeling for some time now and the first challenge every day is to find my quilting supplies and tools - they seem to move at will.

I'm with you. There's no other place available! It's a good thing I don't cook much.

Uh-Oh...Thanksgiving is coming, guess I'll have to put everything away for a while. :thumbdown:

my stuff is all in the kitchen and trust me, there isn't nearly enough space. i have a queen size quilt top done for my brother who is getting married boxing day and i have no where big enough to lay it out and baste it. i'm going to have to move all the living room furniture out of the way and then roll up the carpets to do it. my 'cooking area' does not exist anymore. i have a 2' length of cupboard beside the sink for cutting and meal prep. my portable dishwasher seems to be permanently placed in front of the sink because i used it's spot for my sewing machine. there are bins of fabric, batting and stuffing(for stuffed animals) piled up all over the place and all but two of my chairs have become resting places for works in progress and finished projects waiting to be washed and delivered at christmas. so pretty much, the kitchen is not all that functional for cooking because of the sewing stuff and not all that functional for sewing because of kitchen stuff, but it's the only space in the house where the kids are not running around(thank god for baby gates) most of the time. it could be worse though.

I'm one of the lucky ones with a sewing room. However, it is small, and I have a large stash of fabric. I wouldn't have room for a cutting table in my sewing room, even if I didn't have one wall covered with bins of fabric. I have to use the kitchen table even just to square up a block. At least, it is only a few steps away.

This allows me to watch tv, the kids (they are little so need supervision), the dogs, I can make dinner. It makes multi tasking much easier sewing at the kitchen table.
Like I said honest to goodness if I had to go some place away from everyone/everything else in the house to sew, I would never make it in there to get anything done!

me too, love it.
